Mistakes

While Harry is chased by the Bludger, Hermione says, "No! Even with a proper wand you could hit Harry..." Three shots later, as Harry passes the blue Ravenclaw tower, the back of his robe flies up and the metal base of the SEAT he sits on is perfectly visible. Some shots are filmed vertically, as he sits on the attached seat with the upright broomstick in front of him, but then edited with the background plate to look as if he is lying on the horizontal broomstick. Hence the need for a seat perpendicular to the broomstick. See more...

Though very obvious to British users of this site, it is most likely not as well known in the US. Fawkes the phoenix is most likely named for Guy Fawkes (1570-1606), a Catholic conspirator who tried to kill King James I and blow up Parliament in 1605 (the Gunpowder Plot) to avenge persecution of Roman Catholics in England. His plan failed, and he was arrested, tried, and executed. November 5th is Guy Fawkes night/bonfire night, when the failure of his plan is celebrated with fireworks and bonfires - the fires often have a "guy" on top of them, a stuffed dummy.

The reason Susan Bones is in so many scenes with the Gryffindors, although she was sorted into Hufflepuff, is because the actress is Eleanor Columbus, the daughter of director Chris Columbus. Two of his other children are also in the movie.

As Hagrid and Harry are walking away from Knockturn Alley, look closely in one of the shop windows in the background - there's the entire set of the Harry Potter books.

At the end of the scene where Dobby visits Harry in the hospital wing, Dumbeldore mentions the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. As the scene fades, it goes straight to the girl's bathroom sink (the entrance to the chamber, we later find out).

In the book, there is a minor side plot where Percy was hiding the fact that he had a Ravenclaw girlfriend named Penelope Clearwater, who was also attacked at the same time Hermione was. She is largely out of the movie, but in one scene, Nearly Headless Nick says hello to Percy and 'Miss Clearwater' walking side by side.

As Harry looks at the album at the start of the film, he turns the page of wax paper, between the pages of photos and the imprint on the wax paper is clearly visible. The imprint is that of many spider webs on the thin page of wax paper. It is best seen frame by frame.
